Click here to read about how Yao is pulling for the Bayi Rockets, his old rival from when he played for the Shanghai Sharks.

I also love how Yao and I have alot in common: decline to pay a hotel 10 bucks for Internet usage to watch the Chinese basketball finals online when it’s not going to be too long until he can get online for free.

Even though he makes millions, Yao hasn’t let it alter his spending habits. Gotta love it! Stories like that make him very human.
